Nibbles: Impact assessment, Kenyan veggies, African veggie genebank, Madd fruit, Moroccan fruits, Date palm, DOGE at USDA

Modelling adoption of biofortified crops is no substitute for empirical field surveys. Kind of obvious, but I guess needed saying.
Kenyans may not need biofortified crops, though. Assuming they are actually eating their traditional vegetables.
There’s a whole genebank for Africa’s vegetables.
Saba senegalensis is also naturally biofortified.
The High Atlas Foundation is also on a fruit tree mission
Is the date palm the most important fruit tree in the world, though?
I wonder what will happen to USDA’s fruit tree collections.
